Hi all! My name is Katie and I just heard about this great app! I am 26 and live outside of Philly. I am scheduled for RNY on January 10th (yikes!) I am on day 10 of the liquid diet, it's been a struggle but I am making it through. I have to say my insurance approval was so quick and easy. I was approved within a week of meeting with my doctor. I was a little skeptical at first since I heard of how long it took for so many others.

I am anxious, scared, nervous and excited all at once. Of course I hear the horror stories and somehow in my mind it outweighs the great successes I hear about. I am lucky to have my husband by my side and then following my surgery my husband will also have the surgery a few weeks later. It's nice to have someone to go through it with!

My surgery is tomorrow at 11 a.m. so anxious and getting stuff together and ready for when I come home. I have been on the liquid diet for 9 days and I dont feel hungry anymore. I havent cheated but I feel like I havent lost as much weight as I should have. 8 lbs since 12/28, seems great in theory but i am terrified the dr will to open. Anyone else experience this?

After 10 days on the liquid diet I broke down tonight and had a piece of chocolate. I have my monthly visitor and honestly couldn't stop thinking about it. I know I shouldn't have but I did Hopefully my liver won't be affected.

I didn't lose much on liquids either. I lost 7 lbs only had a 10day liquid diet. Remember the only purpose of the pre op liquid diet is so that your liver shrinks some so that its not in the way. So it's ok if you didn't lose a lot of weight.i weighed myself before leaving for surgery, cuz at the hospital they didn't weigh me. That is the only reason I know my pre op weight.

No it won't affect you. Now if you didn't follow the diet every day and you didn't lose a pound then that's another story.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
